Here is some incredible news that many of us would not believe that it’s possible to produce a decent smartphone for a price as low as $4 or just Rs. 251. But it seems it is going to be happen soon. Ringing Bells Smartphone is going to be launched today in India. We still need to find out more details about the same, but we already have all the hardware specifications of the device and it seems quite good.
Why you should stay away from Freedom 251
Ringing Bells Freedom 251 Smartphone will be the cheapest smartphone available anywhere in the world. We though still don’t have more details about the financing model, but we presume that the device is subsidized by the Indian Government.

It will be running Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system.
Ringing Bells Smartphone will sport 3.2 MP main rear camera and a 0.3 MP front VGA camera.
The device is powered by a 1450 mAh battery and will come with support for dual SIMs (3G GSM). It also comes with 1 year warranty and with a 650+ service centre support across India.
